- Provides neuroprotective, antibacterial, and antiviral effects.
- Induces apoptosis in cancer cells via ROS production.
- Orally active and blood-brain barrier-permeable.
- Inhibits *Vibrio* growth by increasing bacterial membrane permeability.
- Reduces thrombosis and lipid oxidation.
- Alleviates neuronal apoptosis and inflammatory responses.
